2014 Ford Edge: stuck in gear or won't shift

Filed Sep 1, 2022 · Engine, Transmission · MN

This has happened twice on my 2014 Ford Edge. Vehicle goes into limp mode without warning. Did not catch the message, was too busy trying not to get hit. No error codes found. Vehicle restarts and works fine after a short period of sitting. There are multiple reports of this going back 10+ years online. Ford says there is no problem. Computer chip failure? First failure was approximately 10 months ago -

1st occurrence was when I was driving on the interstate and the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating and went into limp mode (a wrench was displayed on the dashboard). I was not able to accelerate at all and had to pull off the interstate. Turned off the vehicle and turned it back on and the wrench and check engine light was off. This now occurs every day and is a safety issue, it happened when I was making a turn at a busy intersection and almost ended up in another driver hitting me as I had no power to accelerate out of the way. In researching the issue I believe it is due to a faulty throttle body control but am unable to diagnose it since the check engine light and thus error code goes away with every restart...at the very least it should tell me what the last error code was.

I was driving my vehicle in rush hour traffic and it displayed a wrench symbol and went into limp mode. Due to the car slowing down, I had issues getting to the side of the highway. I had it towed to the dealer after 8 days they said it was the electrical signal to the throttle body. The manufacture has issued a recall on some models but not all and refuse to cover the repair even though it is a known issue. If the is a mandatory recall, they will have to cover this dangerous issue. Please consider issuing a full recall.

Ford edge with 58,000 miles was being driven by wife. While traveling at 50-55 miles per hour, the vehicle showed a wrench icon and decelerated immediatly to 5mph in the middle of rush hour traffic in the left lane. The loss of power put the car into limp mode where my wife had to try to get to the side of the road. The ignition was turned off, then back on and the car drove fine afterwards. The sudden loss of propulsion is very scary espically right after dropping your 1 year old off at daycare who could have been in the car. We have researched this and found many other vehicles with this defect possibly throttle body. After turning the car off, all codes were erased so the only way to get the car checked for the issue would be to straight from ford "drive until the error happens again".

Throttle body!!! I was driving down a very busy back road with a number of sharp turns throughout when a yellow wrench appeared on my dashboard and the car went into a full and immediate "limp mode." my car initiated limp mode on a very sharp turn with an inclining hill and I had nowhere to pull off to address the problem. I was finally able to restart my car and drove approximately 10 miles to work and my car would again go into "limp mode" 4 additional times throughout the duration of this trip. I'm lucky I wasn't killed. Please recall before someone gets seriously hurt or killed!
